I'm not really surprised "indict Trump" is polling at 60%; I explained this a long time ago, in numerous different ways - no matter what they tell you TV, fascism isn't popular. It wasn't popular in Germany, it's not popular here. The problem is that they don't, and have never, need 51%; they need about 1/3 of the people, and another third to sit buy and do sweet fuck all, so they can merc the final 3rd and "permanently" install fascism. But these guys are NOT a "popular" movement. Paxton lied.

No see the major problem with pointing out that fascism is funded and installed by rich fascists, not "the people" is that you can't then spin a theory about Hitler being a Magic Man and this all being the dumb ass proles fault; which in turn makes it a LOT harder to explain why it's totally fine that rich fascists run your country and spend like 95% of the money on weapons to merc communists.

I'm sorry. That's just how it be. They're not going to PUBLISH historians who explain that however.

Science integrity - a very interesting post http://deevybee.blogspot.com/2023/02/open-letter-to-cnrs.html which I recommend as transparency and action are singularly lacking in this realm.

🇨🇦 "Researchers at a Canadian university have made a breakthrough they hope will dramatically shorten the lifespan of the thousands of toxic “forever chemicals” that persist in clothing, household items and the #environment.

Scientists at the U. of #BritishColumbia announced on Wednesday that they had developed a new silica-based material with ability to absorb a wider range of the harmful chemicals, and new tools to break them apart them." #Canada https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/mar/22/canada-toxic-forever-chemicals-pfas-researchers

If you are giving scientific advice to the government that will inform policy and that will impact people's lives, then I believe you should make that scientific advice available to the public and other scientists for scrutiny.
Not to do so is generally bad science.
